How Early Would You Want an OG in the Draft?

christian : 4/13/2024 7:07 pm
I wouldn't mind or be surprised if they went guard with pick 47.

Who/when do you think they targetm
Cooper Beebe  
Earl the goat : 4/13/2024 7:12 pm : link
Might drop to 3rd round
Would look great next to Thomas

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/13/2024 7:14 pm : link
I suspect Neal will be moved to OG this summer.
Rd2  
DavidinBMNY : 4/13/2024 7:16 pm : link
Should be the earliest
Trade Down From #6  
MojoEd : 4/13/2024 7:17 pm : link
For Taliese Fuaga or round #2. While they have greater needs, it all depends on their internal grades.
Late day 3  
BillT : 4/13/2024 7:17 pm : link
With the FA pickups and current roster players I'm not sure this is as much a priority as QB, WR, CB, S, TE. And swing tackle is possibly a bigger priority than OG so maybe not at all.
Someone with OT/OG flexibility  
Finch : 4/13/2024 7:20 pm : link
That right side is wide open
If I had a choice, OL at 2  
solarmike : 4/13/2024 7:23 pm : link
Set the table for success.

1 - WR
2 - OL
3 - RB
4 - QB
5 - D, SP, TE
6 - D, SP

Or not? Chime in.

Normally I'm Team Basketball on Grass, but I'd like to see them establish the IOL as a strength. I think there's a good chance Eluemunor ends up the right tackle.
This team definitely needs and original gangster.  
robbieballs2003 : 4/13/2024 7:35 pm : link
We have to get that edge back.
Damnit.  
robbieballs2003 : 4/13/2024 7:36 pm : link
an not and.
Outside of a QB  
Bill in UT : 4/13/2024 7:41 pm : link
I'd think their most pressing needs are a WR amd CB. A Rd.3 guard could be possible if we don't draft a QB Rd.1
I think CB is a bigger need right now  
larryflower37 : 4/13/2024 7:49 pm : link
I would like
WR
CB
OL
RB
Than whatever works from that standpoint.
Technically we are set with the starting line and signed  
BleedBlue46 : 4/13/2024 7:51 pm : link
Depth guys. If an OL is clear bpa in rd2-3 I would take one, but I think QB/WR/TE/CB/DL are bigger needs eight now. Man typing that out really makes me not want to trade up for Maye..
The two veteran FA OL they signed should help  
US1 Giants : 4/13/2024 7:54 pm : link
The Giants don't have many draft choices. They need to find a CB for sure. A #1 WR is a need as well a future QB. That looks like either or. Depth on the DL is needed. They won't cover all of their needs. I would not draft a OG given the OL FA signed unless a great value pick. UNDFA OG is likely.

I would sure hope that Ezeudu/McKethan are as good as any UDFA they could pick up. If not, that was some shit drafting
Would really like to get that DT early  
DonnieD89 : 4/13/2024 8:35 pm : link
to complete the four-man front. I do agree with bringing in another guard for depth would be good at starting at round four.
Let's not forget who we lost to FA  
AROCK1000 : 4/13/2024 8:41 pm : link
S,RB,CB,WR,TE,QB,all need to be addressed
You also want DL and IOL...
Trade back can get alot of those
If no trade back then IOL Should not get addressed until 4th rd
With only 6 picks, I wouldn’t be surprised if  
81_Great_Dane : 4/13/2024 8:45 pm : link
they don’t draft a guard. The guys on the roster, the vet free agents they signed, UDFA’s and other teams’ camp cuts may have to cover that position for this season.

Lotta needs and not a lotta picks.

You don’t draft positions, you draft players. If an O-lineman is at the top row of your board, you consider him. This year, I think a lot of things have to align for them to pick an OG. But you could say the same about other positions.
all things (value) being equal  
bc4life : 4/13/2024 9:04 pm : link
Day 3. Thinking CB or 2, RB, Edge, before Guard
If Guard is the BPA on the board  
Jay on the Island : 4/13/2024 9:10 pm : link
in round 2 then I hope they select him. The interior has been a disaster the past several years and I am all for finally fixing it.
unless we trade down for more picks, I really can't see it until Rd 3  
PatersonPlank : 4/13/2024 9:14 pm : link
Either we go QB in Rd 1, which likely means WR in RD 2
or
We go WR in Rd 1, which means Rd 2 is a QB (if Nix or Penix drops), or DT
How anyone could have watched the team last year  
Cyrus the Great : 4/13/2024 10:02 pm : link
and come away thinking WR or CB is a more pressing need than guard is beyond me. There probably isn't a guard worth taking at 6 this year but if Quenton Nelson or Zach Martin was sitting there I'd take him in a heartbeat.
With an offensive line that gave up 85 sacks,  
Reese's Pieces : 4/13/2024 10:05 pm : link
and a defensive line tied for 28th in sacks, these should be the priority. They added a good free agent to both, but don't stop there. The D-Line is one more disruptive pass rusher away from being a top 10 unit.

I would seriously consider re-signing Adoree Jackson. From his first round pedigree through the season before last he's always been a quality cover back. Last year not so good, but the team was out of the playoffs by about week 5 and many vets don't play their best on a team going nowhere.

Impressed that in his two years here he's only drawn three flags each season. Last season only one PI call.

We spent like 20 million per year on two starting guards, one with versatility to play tackle or guard. We haven't signed a CB and there are elite all pro potential WRs likely to be there at our first pick. Schoen seems to have planned to not have a pressing need at guard going into the draft.

The OL is trash until proven otherwise. They brought in stopgaps on 2/3 year deals for mediocre money. Assuming the OL is set after these moves is the same shit the FO/fans have thought for the last decade when similar off-season moves were made.

They need a pipeline and quality depth. And they need an honest assessment of Neal. If his future is OG then they should be looking at Morgan out of AZ in the 2nd round. If he’s just an OT then they should be looking at Beebe in round 2.

The goal shouldn’t be to have a passable or average OL. They should be looking to become exceptional there. None of what they have is exceptional besides Thomas.
IMO there is no reason to draft a guard high in this draft  
blueblood : 4/13/2024 11:00 pm : link
You just signed Runyan who is a guard, Eluemunor who plays guard and tackle, Schlottmann and Stinnie. You have McKethon and Eduzedu who will be coming back to compete for a spot.

The Giants have a far greater needs at CB, WR and S than they do @ guard right now..
no issue at 47 or 70  
Eric on Li : 4/13/2024 11:05 pm : link
just do better than ezeudu. or neal for that matter. i like haynes, beebee, and mahogany at 70 but if they have a conviction no issue at 47. could even be a good spot to slide down 10 spots like they did with wandale and pick up another top 150 pick or 2.

I could get behind that. Fuaga has multiple OL written all over him. And I would feel great about him solidifying the right side.

IMV, the best OL prospect in this draft.
Think there's a bit of a drop off after round 1 type guys  
gameday555 : 4/13/2024 11:24 pm : link
Where we're picking both in round 1 and 2 I'm not sure value will be there. Third round and beyond is where it starts for me relative to our picks and presumed players available at those spots.

I would not at ALL be sad to take an OG at 47, although likely not happening with the signing of Eleumenor and Jon Runyan jr.
Rd3 or later  
bLiTz 2k : 4/14/2024 1:15 am : link
Going to be a lot of guys at premium positions available at 47...

Cb, edge, wr, DT etc.
Round 2, pick 47  
Gregorio : 4/14/2024 6:20 am : link
Runyon and Eluemunor are works-in-progress until proven otherwise. The last decade of NYG football has demonstrated that the O-line positions are in constant need of player development. If the value presents itself in round 2, I have no issues with going for it.

+1
I think the FA signings were their way to try and shore up guard  
56goat : 4/14/2024 7:15 am : link
but not opposed if a stud draft pick is there. 2nd maybe, but later is more likely.

After QB at #6,  
section125 : 4/14/2024 8:28 am : link
anytime that they feel the value fits the need. I would not mind at 47, but would prefer DT or CB.
On the real.... i want an OT  
Festina Lente : 4/14/2024 10:43 am : link
More than og but that ain't happening unless we trade down and get more picks IMO
Honestly, I want them to come out of the draft  
logman : 4/14/2024 11:00 am : link
with 3-4 players that will be on the team next spring not by default, but because they belong there.
